Hemodialysis is one of the preferred methods for these patients. Many studies have been conducted on the factors affecting the patency of arteriovenous fistulas, which are frequently used for hemodialysis. In this study, we investigated the importance of age. Methods: 442 patients (256 men, 186 women) who underwent arteriovenous fistula operation between May 2013 and Oct 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Surgical operations were performed by 5 different cardiovascular surgeons for hemodialysis in two different institutions in our region. The patients were divided into two groups, Group I (number of patients under 40 years old; n = 201) and Group II (number of patients over 40 years old; n = 241). The primary patency was the time interval between the formation of arteriovenous fistula and any intervention for initial thrombosis and recanalization. Secondary patency was not evaluated in this study. The effects of age on primary exposure rates were investigated for both groups. Results: Primary arteriovenous fistula patency rates were lower in patients over 40 years of age. For this reason, more care should be taken in surgery to create fistulas in patients over the age of 40, and the follow-up of patients should be done more tightly. Conclusion: Complicated external hernias occur in all age groups but are more common in older age and show preponderance in males. All patients present with irreducible swelling with no cough impulse. The indirect inguinal hernia is the most common type and herniorrhaphy is the most preferred operative procedure in the complicated hernia. Wound sepsis was the most common complication. Morbidity and mortality may be attenuated with proper surgical and post-operative management.

These symptoms may ameliorate by time or proceed to evident stricture due to fibrosis. This will need either dye esophagogram or Esophagoscopy which is better to be done not before the lapse of at least 6 weeks from injury. Esophageal dilatation using wire-guided dilators is the cornerstone of treatment. The frequency of dilatation is based on recurrence of dysphagia and in multiple strictures, repeated sessions with multi-level injection of steroids and graded dilatation is needed. Failure of dilatation or occurrence of complications may necessitate esophageal replacement and usually we prefer the transverse colon based on the left colic vessels in retrosternal position to treat the condition. We aimed to review the management of caustic esophageal strictures based on what is known and adding our experience in this aspect. Methods:  We reviewed the articles discussing management of caustic esophageal strictures in the last twenty years. We added our experience of more than forty years managing an average of thirty new cases every year. Results:  Management of caustic esophageal strictures has changed in the last years. Advanced endoscopic techniques of dilatation reduced the need for esophageal replacement. Conclusions:  Caustic esophageal strictures could be managed successfully with advanced techniques of endoscopic dilatation.

Methods: Anteroposterior and lateral X-rays of the lumbar spine from 104 adults (50 male and 54 female) who met the measurement criteria were selected. The height and width of the intervertebral foramen, the height of the intervertebral space, the length from the superior articular process (SAP) to the lower edge of the upper lumbar pedicle, and the length from SAP to posterior margin of superior vertebra posterior edge were measured.  Results:  There was no significant difference in the shape of the lower lumbar intervertebral foramen between normal adult men and women.

Late presentation and ignorance in developing countries have made intestinal resection a frequent surgical procedure. Methods: This was a retrospective study of children that had intestinal resection in the pediatric surgery unit of Enugu State University Teaching Hospital, Enugu, Nigeria. The medical records of the pediatric patients that underwent intestinal resection over a 10-year period were evaluated for the indications that prompted the surgery. The other parameters that were assessed included the patients’ demographics, the duration of symptoms before presentation, the time interval between presentation and intervention, the complications arising from the intestinal resection, and the outcome. Results: There were 52 cases of intestinal resection with an age range of 1–168 months (median 10 months) and a male to female ratio of 2.25:1. There were 9 neonates (less than one month of age), 29 infants (greater than one month but less than one year of age) and 14 children (older than 1 year of age). The following were the indications for intestinal resection: gangrenous/irreducible intussusception (28 or 53.8%), strangulated external hernia (7 or 13.5%), typhoid intestinal perforation (6 or 11.5%), intestinal atresia (3 or 5.8%), gastroschisis (3 or 5.8%), midgut volvulus (3 or 5.8%), and abdominal trauma (2 or 3.8%). The following definitive surgical procedures were performed: right hemicolectomy with ileotransverse anastomosis (28 or 53.8%), segmental resection with end-to-end anastomosis (20 or 38.5%), and massive intestinal resection with end-to-end anastomosis (4 or 7.7%). The median duration of symptoms prior to presentation and the median duration from presentation to surgery were 3 days and 2 days, respectively. The mean duration of hospital stay was 15 days. Twenty patients (38.4%) developed complications, which included surgical site infection (8 or 15.4%), enterocutanous fistula (6 or 11.5%), intra-peritoneal abscess (4 or 7.7%), and adhesive intestinal obstruction (2 or 3.8%). There were 8 deaths, which accounted for 15.4% of the patients. Conclusion: Intestinal resection was performed most often for intussusception.

This study was designed to investigate its anti-cancer effect and its impact on cell apoptosis, autophagy, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER-stress) in colon cancer. Methods : Colon cancer cells were treated with resveratrol. Cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy were assessed by MTT, flow cytometry, and green fluorescence protein (GFP)-tagged LC3B analysis, respectively. Gene expression was detected by qRT-PCR and western blot. Xenograft model was subjected to verify the effects of resveratrol on tumorigenesis of colon cancer cells in vivo. Results : The viability of colon cancer cells was reduced by resveratrol. The cell apoptosis and the protein levels of apoptotic markers (cleaved-PARP and cleaved-Caspase3) were increased by resveratrol. The protein level of autophagic marker (MAP1LC3B) and the LC3B dots accumulation were elevated by resveratrol. Autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) partially reversed the effect of resveratrol on cell apoptosis. The protein and mRNA levels of ER-stress markers (IRE-1 and ATF6) and pro-apoptotic signals (GRP-78, GADD153) were up-regulated by resveratrol. The tumor growth of colon cancer cells was suppressed by resveratrol in vivo.
